Oct. 25, 2024 | 54:45

The holidays can trigger many emotions, including challenging ones. In this episode, we talk about how the best ways to handle the inevitable stress that comes with the upcoming holiday season - for both deployers overseas and service members at home. How do we best handle our emotions? How do we take control of our reactions? How do we navigate the common stressors and triggers that arise during this time? How do we stay resilient and take care of ourselves during this time?

Erin Faye, Massachusetts Air National Guard Military and Family Readiness Program Manager, gives her personal and professional advice to answer all these questions! If you are feeling having difficulty managing your emotions and would like to seek help, there are several different resources available to you.
